Cisco IOS ACL Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions
The following guidelines and restrictions apply to Cisco IOS ACL configurations:
•
You can apply Cisco IOS ACLs directly to Layer 3 ports and to VLAN interfaces.
•
You can apply VLAN ACLs (VACLs) to VLANs (refer to
Chapter 35, “Configuring VLAN ACLs”
).
•
Each type of ACL (IP, IPX, and MAC) filters only traffic of the corresponding type. A Cisco IOS
MAC ACL never matches IP or IPX traffic.
•
The PFC does not provide hardware support for Cisco IOS IPX ACLs. Cisco IOS IPX ACLs are
supported in software on the MSFC.
•
By default, the MSFC sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) unreachable messages when
a packet is denied by an access group.
